Moving on to the budget 18:09:53 <terceiro> there's 2.2 still 18:10:07 <tzafrir> Right, 18:10:27 <tzafrir> #topic Possibility of upgrading to single rooms 18:11:14 <tzafrir> Anything on this topic? 18:11:24 <terceiro> this was added by nattie 18:11:26 <EnkelenaH[m]> about 2.2 It would be possible if the person would pay double the price, but still we'd prefer to not do this :) . For people with disabilities we could do something. 18:11:33 <nattie> I believe some (more than a few) attendees would very much appreciate the possibility 18:12:16 <nattie> and i believe they would be willing to pay for it, in order to be able to stay onsite 18:12:35 <tumbleweed> can we also get more information about the on-site accommodation on the website? e.g. photographs, internet access, shared bathrooms?, etc. 18:12:56 <EnkelenaH[m]> yeah, I can put some pictures 18:13:18 <EnkelenaH[m]> internet is not setup yet but will be 18:13:36 <EnkelenaH[m]> so all I could say is that there will be WiFi coverage 18:14:10 <tumbleweed> just so people know what to expect 18:14:47 <phls> people will ask if there are: pillow and bedding 18:14:59 <EnkelenaH[m]> there will be of course 18:15:10 <tumbleweed> we should list this all on the accommodation page 18:15:13 <EnkelenaH[m]> I can add that 18:15:15 <EnkelenaH[m]> yeah 18:15:30 <tumbleweed> what's the reason for not wanting to provide single rooms? (at attendees own cost) 18:15:45 <DLange> you could ask the ITP what bandwidth they have to the Internet (as in available to us) 18:16:12 <tumbleweed> that quickly gets into a whole other topic of discussion 18:16:14 <EnkelenaH[m]> mainly because we did not agree with them for this, we agreed for two people on a room. 18:16:35 <nattie> surely they would be fine with receiving more income 18:16:37 <tumbleweed> but (re internet) I think the point to list on the site is that there's wifi, with good coverage in every room (or something like that) 18:17:13 <tumbleweed> nattie: only if they've got the rooms available and would make a profit from them being used 18:17:47 <DLange> the video team also - typically - asks for wired internet in the talk rooms 18:18:02 <DLange> so if that is not documented yet, also good to ask what is available 18:18:02 <nattie> would it be possible to find out if extra rooms could be available on request? 18:18:28 <EnkelenaH[m]> it would, but not a lot. We need to confirm the number of rooms a month prior 18:18:31 <tumbleweed> DLange: I'm busy working on the relevant video team docs 18:18:56 <phls> sorry, something is not clear 18:19:09 <EnkelenaH[m]> ? 18:19:12 <phls> bursary bedroom will be 2 person, right? 18:19:17 <EnkelenaH[m]> yes 18:19:32 <tumbleweed> the question here is whether we can provide a paid upgrade to 1-person per room 18:19:35 <phls> and if someone wants to pay, the badroom will be shared too? 18:19:46 <EnkelenaH[m]> yes 18:19:46 <tumbleweed> if someone wants to pay, right now, they have to go to a hotel 18:19:50 <phls> usually they are 1 person for paid bedroom 18:20:01 <EnkelenaH[m]> for 15 Eur? 18:20:09 <EnkelenaH[m]> let them pay 30, as we said above then yes 18:20:25 <phls> people pay for get a 1 person bedroom, even if you charge more 18:20:42 <phls> EnkelenaH[m], ok, 30 for single room seems fair 18:21:15 <nattie> +1 18:21:38 <olasd> what's the timeline on the internet being setup in the accommodation? what's our contingency when that slips to after the conference dates? 18:21:49 <phls> usually people pay for a room when they want single room :-) 18:22:05 <tumbleweed> can we hold the internet discussion for now 18:22:11 <EnkelenaH[m]> Mid June olasd (IRC) 18:22:17 <tumbleweed> phls: at the moment we aren't providing paid accommodation 18:22:24 <tumbleweed> the only way to get an onsite room is a bursary 18:22:39 <tumbleweed> the proposed change here is to allow people (who have a bursary) to pay an extra fee to get a room to themselves 18:22:42 <phls> no? 18:22:43 <tumbleweed> (as I understand it) 18:22:53 <EnkelenaH[m]> tumbleweed (IRC): I think we are 18:22:57 <phls> from the website: Self-paid accommodation 18:22:58 <phls> DebConf is providing 100 beds for people who want to pay for accommodation at ITP. 18:22:58 <phls> The cost is 15 Eur/night. If that number is filled, we will let you know. 18:23:04 <EnkelenaH[m]> we discussed this and we have the change on the website 18:23:07 <tumbleweed> oh, sorry, I think I missed that 18:23:12 <phls> ok 18:23:16 <tumbleweed> we are doing paid accommodation, never mind :) 18:23:29 <phls> :-) 18:23:31 <tumbleweed> I didn't budget for that 18:23:53 <tumbleweed> oh well, I'll go poke at that afterwards 18:23:55 <DLange> there's always a budget 2.0 18:24:16 <tumbleweed> we don't currently have an easy mechanism to have 2 room prices on registration 18:24:19 <phls> BTW, people will pay via wafer, riggt? 18:24:33 <tumbleweed> yes 18:24:42 <tumbleweed> but we can add it 18:24:58 <tumbleweed> EnkelenaH[m]: Are we agreed that we'll offer single accommodation rooms at 30 EUR? 18:25:05 <tumbleweed> (should I go build that now?) 18:25:25 <EnkelenaH[m]> yes 18:25:33 <tumbleweed> OK 18:25:53 <EnkelenaH[m]> what about people with bursaries? 18:26:17 <tzafrir> #agreed DebConf22 will offer single accommodation rooms at 30 EUR 18:26:37 <tumbleweed> given self-paid accommodation is available, I think it's fair to say you have to self-pay for a single room 18:26:46 <tumbleweed> (or get one for some special needs) 18:27:07 <tzafrir> #action tumbleweed Build support for two different accomodation prices in wafer 18:27:55 <tumbleweed> do people agree with that? 18:28:27 <terceiro> ack 18:28:29 <EnkelenaH[m]> I do 18:28:39 <nattie> +1 18:28:42 <DLange> +1 18:28:44 <tumbleweed> OK 18:28:50 <tumbleweed> shall we move on to network infrastructure? :) 18:29:02 <tzafrir> #topic Network Infrastructure 18:29:40 <tzafrir> (For the readers: topic also discussed in the previou item) 18:29:50 <EnkelenaH[m]> The network is not setup, but it will be in the conference rooms and in the accommodation rooms 18:30:31 <tzafrir> Before Debcamp? 18:30:55 <EnkelenaH[m]> yes 18:31:38 <terceiro> is there space planned for hacklabs? 18:31:45 <terceiro> (those need networking as well_) 18:32:08 <EnkelenaH[m]> yes there is, and of course they will be covered 18:32:10 <tumbleweed> is this a dedicated network for us? Or are we piggy-backing on existing infrastructure 18:32:26 <EnkelenaH[m]> dedicated 18:32:35 <EnkelenaH[m]> thats why its not setup yet 18:32:42 <tumbleweed> hiring wifi APs? routers, etc? 18:32:47 <EnkelenaH[m]> yep 18:32:54 <EnkelenaH[m]> we actually asked for sponsorship from them 18:33:00 <tumbleweed> when you know exactly what equipment we're getting, can you let us know? 18:33:01 <EnkelenaH[m]> and we are waiting until the end of this month 18:33:11 <EnkelenaH[m]> sure 18:34:01 <EnkelenaH[m]> https://www.ipko.com/en/ 18:34:09 <EnkelenaH[m]> this will be the provider, if its useful info :) 18:34:52 <tumbleweed> using existing wiring in the venue? or needing to do new runs for us? 18:35:18 <EnkelenaH[m]> new runs 18:36:09 <tumbleweed> lots of work :) and definitely space for unexpected problems there 18:36:36 <EnkelenaH[m]> it will be setup earlier than the conf days 18:36:44 <olasd> does ipko do the venue networking setup, or are they just providing internet access? 18:36:56 <EnkelenaH[m]> the whole setup and everything 18:37:21 <olasd> okay 18:38:23 <DLange> sounds like we'll have some fun during DebCamp 18:38:27 <tumbleweed> yeah 18:38:45 <EnkelenaH[m]> it will be setup before that too :) 18:38:46 <olasd> networking hardware lead times are pretty fluid these days, but as long as it's a provider with existing stock, maybe we'll be okay? 18:39:18 <tzafrir> #info Conference site will be wired with a new network for us before the conference 18:39:21 <tumbleweed> I hope they have a lot of WiFi APs. We tend to have a lot more devices than a typical event 18:39:23 <DLange> may be, may be. Or we'll run fibre between buildings again ourselves. 18:39:27 <DLange> Not the first time :) 18:40:04 <tzafrir> Any information we need to provide them? 18:40:21 <tumbleweed> we should communicate the video team needs with them 18:40:32 <DLange> would be good to see a plan what ITP intends to have set up 18:40:38 <DLange> then we can comment on that 18:40:43 <tumbleweed> I'll dig out the documents we've provided to previous local network teams 18:41:47 <phls> I'm traumatized with cables between buildings :-) 18:42:36 <phls> but wit a compeny dealing with that, I'm sure it will much better 18:42:41 <tzafrir> Anything else to do in the coming two weeks? 18:42:41 <phls> company 18:44:38 <tzafrir> #topic Budget 18:44:53 <tzafrir> As mentioned: approved. 18:45:07 <tzafrir> And we saw one item missing. 18:45:16 <tzafrir> Anything else on this topic? 18:46:32 <tzafrir> #topic Remote contingency planning 18:47:02 <tzafrir> Any news here? 18:48:46 <tzafrir> No plans? 18:49:17 <tzafrir> So schedule next meeting? 18:49:24 <tumbleweed> no news 18:49:35 <tzafrir> #topic Next meeting 18:49:40 <nattie> 2nd May? 18:50:08 <tzafrir> In two weeks: May 2nd, 18:00 UTC? 18:50:27 <DLange> sounds good 18:50:59 <tzafrir> #agreed Next meeting will be held at Mon.
